i am looking for new rings and new bearings for my d16y8 setup.
i came across a good deal on "Sealed Power Piston Rings and the Federal Mogul Main Bearing Set"

i did alittle research and couldnt find anything on them ( i found thier website, but they are gonna say.. " they products suck" )

has anyone heard of them?
i was wondering if anyone has used them?
good ?
bad?

please dont say " just get X rings and X bearings", im looking for info on these specfically.. thanks
any info on them would be helpful
thanks

Use OEM Honda bearings and rings.

Honda rings are known to last forever, can't beat Honda quality! Spend the extra money for OEM

 

get ACL bearings, cheep and awsome price from Camp1320 (pulg for ya dude )

My husband, REVolution, is a supplier for them. He can probably hook you up if they make that part. Just PM him. His company makes the seals.

 

federal-mogul is a well known supplier in the replacement parts industry. they are owned by TRW corp and have been around forever. As far as Hondas go, I don't know if they are better than OEM, but they are designed to be oe replacement.

&lt;------ former auto parts guy / domestic car guy and lifelong gearhead.
And yes, I have used them with NO issues, but not in a Honda.

 

unless the bearing is tri-metal, dont get it

 

thanks guys, keep the info comin.

If they were any good, they would come in different thicknesses like the OEM Honda bearings. But they don't, it is one size fits all...

You have about a one in 20 chance of them fitting properly. They may work on Chevy S.B.'s where the tolerances are 4 to 5 times larger than Honda tolerances, but I will never use them.

And just because they are still in business does not mean they make a good product. It just means there are a LOT of uneducated people out there.

 

dont ACL bearings come in one size fits all?
they are good right?
not tryin to start a argument, just wonderin.

thanks for the info

 

Yes, they are one size fits all, and please explain WHY they are not good...besides the one size fits all.
Acl's are NOT for every engine, they are good if the bearing colors allow so...if not you can mix match them with oem honda.
Acl's are in the middle of the bearing chart (green/brown).
For the amateur builder, with basic tools that the only way to check clearances is with plastigauge they are fine..

So why not try to educate some of us?
Not trying to be a smart ***, just trying to have the best / most accurate info available. And what about over/under size bearings?
